He was gone, but not forgotten. Always just off in the distance, waiting, listening, watching. A day would come that he would be needed again and he knew that, that’s what kept him there. He knew he couldn’t leave his time wasn’t finished yet, he had left to soon.

She could still feel him there watching over her from afar, never interfering yet always vigilant. He was her rock, her safe place the one she confided in. He loved her always and forever.

The day would come that he would eventually move on, but that day was not today.

Time is fleeting, only blood and tears are real. Don’t waste your breath on words said so many times before. I don’t want your regurgitated filth. Don’t taint me with your lies and deceit, your nothing to me but wasted time and sweat.

She only lived to survive, there was no other reason. she had responsibilities she needed to take care of, that’s what kept her going. Every day was a struggle she didn’t know what was going to happen one day to the next. She never really knew who she could trust. She had asked so much of so many people she felt she couldn’t ask anymore.

One day it had to get easier, one day she had to get some relief. She knew she was responsible for the life she had, it was no one else’s fault but her own, she should have known better, done something sooner not fed into the deluded idea that people can change. She knew that they couldn’t, not if they didn’t want to, not if they didn’t think they were doing anything wrong.

The day will come when she will have to take a stand and it is going to be hard, it is going to hurt, and there is a very good chance that she is going to fail, but she will have to. Hopefully, he doesn’t kill her before.
